I sign up for text alerts from USPS for the important stuff. They are far from accurate but way better than nothing. Last week I had a $13K card delivered. The last tracking update was from 2 days earlier 2 sorting facilities away. Then it showed up at my door. Luckily the mailman showed up just as I was leaving so I could sign for it.

I get some stuff from SE Asia so I am used to waiting. I just like the tracking # so I know where it is setting.
